Born and raised in New Jersey, school at U of Wisc, and lived and wrote in NY City. Now, I've been in the 'burbs for years.
Started out as a magazine journalist (Teen Beat, Parents Magazine), spent a couple of years writing kids' books (oh, just google for titles), back to magazines (Careers), then segued to corporate marketing/communications (Wall St., Fortune 100 and non-profit exec gigs).   Now I'm right back where I started from with a press pass and reporter's pad and having quite the good time.
